I used to use a frame made from PVC and it lasted for well over a dozen years, but one Winter squall wiped it out and since then I make the frame out of 2x3 ridge pole and  down supports made out of strapping.One big tarp works well, either open at the ends so it can breathe, or close them up when storms threaten.I try for the A-frame 'pitch' where the height of the ridge pole above the gunnel is close to that of the beam. Gives one room to work or walk under it somewhat, at least in the center.</blockquote>
